There would be an overlap there. Given this snippet: %files -f ruby.files ... %files devel -f ruby-devel.files I speculate (since the rpm manual is not very helpful on the matter) that if --target= is not specified then the first file command will execute but not the third and include all of the files listed in ruby.files only whereas if --target=devel is specified to the rpmbuild command then the first and second commands will execute and include the contents of ruby.files and ruby-devel.files.

MD5 and NIS
by Jeremy Sanders 11 Sep '07

11 Sep '07

Does anybody know whether it is possible to enable MD5 passwords for NIS and local passwords? Is it just a matter of running authconfig --enablemd5 and new passwords will use MD5 and old ones will still work? Of course using LDAP might be a "better" solution (if it was easy to install). I've tried googling and didn't get any useful answers... Jeremy

Performance of CentOS as a NAT gateway
by Bart Schaefer 11 Sep '07

11 Sep '07

We have a single 3GHz P4 box w/2GB RAM running CentOS 3.8, acting as a gateway, which serves multiple IP address, having one virtual interface for each IP, e.g., eth0:1, eth0:2, etc. These interfaces/IPs are on the public internet. Each of these IP addresses is the NAT address for a different small LAN. All of these LANs are connected through a single Linksys 100Mb switch, to eth1 on the gateway. Thus, in case it's not obvious from that description, traffic from LAN X travels through through the switch to eth1 on the gateway, where iptables translates it to the IP address of eth0:X and thence out to the net. The gateway is totally idle except for handling these NATs; no other processes except the usual OS bookkeeping. All NIC and switch hardware involved is 100Mb. This all works, but we're experiencing network congestion somewhere. The LANs appear to become saturated when only about 10Mb of total traffic is passing through the public IPs. That is, we seem to be losing almost 90% of our capacity somewhere in the translation. Before we attempt to sweep this under the rug by using Gb NICs/switches for the LANs, we'd like to understand what's going on. I can't find any recent statistics for Linux NAT performance, but the older stuff I can find (e.g. 50k packets/sec for a P3-450Mhz) seems to indicate that the gateway should easily be up to the task of handling the NAT traffic. Am I wrong about this? Is there any way to diagnose whether the NAT is the bottleneck? Would we benefit from upgrading to a newer CentOS (2.6 kernel as opposed to 2.4)? Or is it more likely to be the switch, in which case what would be a recommended replacement for the Linksys? I can provide more details in private mail if necessary. Thanks in advance for any ideas.

rpm spec files for ruby
by James B. Byrne 11 Sep '07

11 Sep '07

I am trying to package ruby-1.8.6 for CentOS-4.5 and I would like to take a look at the spec files used for ruby-1.8.1 that ships with CentOS. Is there any place that I can see these or could someone do me the kindness of sending them to me? I am also confused as to how one breaks out the component parts of a build into separate rpm packages. The source distribution from ruby-lang.org seemingly permits only three install options; all, no-docs and docs-only. How and where does one refactor the build scripts to create separate rpms for ruby, ruby-libs, ruby-devel, ruby-docs, rdoc, irb, ri, and ruby-tcltk? I would appreciate greatly any guidance here. I have zero experience with creating rpm packages, but I ran across a reference to checkinstall in a reply to one of my queries on ruby-forum and have decided to have a go at putting an rpm together, for my own purposes if it proves beyond my capability to do so for the community.

Nautilus won't start
by Kenneth Porter 11 Sep '07

11 Sep '07

I've been running CentOS 5 since release on a couple of servers with few problems. Last night I tried it as a workstation for the first time. It booted up fine and I could log into X. I then ran pup to install all available updates and shut down afterwards to load the new kernel. (I use yum on the servers.) This morning I start up on the new kernel and after logging in at the Gnome prompt, I get a message that Nautilus can't start. I'm not an X guru, being mostly a server driver over ssh. What's the best way to debug this? (I have lots of experience debugging, just not with X.)

is there an apache limit on submit size for centos 4 and 5
by Jerry Geis 10 Sep '07

10 Sep '07

Is there a limit to the size of the form that apache will accept? I have a small import utility (not php - just straight cgi and C program). It will import smaller files. 350 Meg is the largest I successfully did. But a 6.5G file it will not do. Seems like the form does even submit. Is there a config option in apache that doesnt even accept it? I looked at /var/log/httpd/ error and access and nothing is there. Any ideas? Jerry

I guess that there is a conflict with the currently available glibc.i686 (2.3.4-2.36) and the package providing rtld. Does anyone knows if there is a fix/workaround for that? Otherwise is it possible to setup exim to use clamd on a different server via tcp/ip? tia Regards -Lorenzo Quatrini

Is the new kmod-drbd is install automatically (like > kernels are) ? With the precedent package you'll had to install the new > one manually if you didn't want to get stuck with a new fresh default > kernel without any drbd support ^^ A centosplus kernel update (2.6.9-55.0.6) came out. Because the kernel and kmod-drbd were pushed out at the same time, there was no need to hold the kernel update until kmod-drbd becomes available. However, yum update failed . Turns out kmod-drbd needed to be excluded from the extras repo. This was because centosplus is given a lower priority than extras and yum tried to pull kmod-drbd (for the standard kernel) from the extra repo. So, the answer to the situation above (which is the case with my test machine) is that you need to exclude kmod-drbd from extra and that as far as kernel and kmod-drbd come out together, installation is done all automatic.

Centos5 Webcam/Video input/output
by Stewart Walker 09 Sep '07

09 Sep '07

We have been exploring the possibilities using Centos5 for video. Video and Audio Streaming sounds like great fun. Subject is pretty new to us here and well there was nothing else to do but take the dive. After much time beating our heads against the wall and covering the planet google'ing and hitting the books trying to get a webcam to work. I am wondering if it wouldn't be better just to head back to the windows platform.. What a mess this has become on the open source platform. Grant it could be hardware (ok maybe its me and the kernel not agreeing) as this is just a development system that appears to have kernel compatible hardware. Does anyone out there have any encouraging words, howto docs or knowledge of commercial applications/support that are known to work for Centos5? Much thanks in advance.

Where is the blktrace utility?
by Ross S. W. Walker 08 Sep '07

08 Sep '07

I keep reading that RHEL/CentOS 5 supports blktrace, but I can't seem to find the blktrace/blkparse utilities. Is it that just the functionality is available in the kernel, but the user is left to have to hunt down the latest versions of the utilities on the net? If anybody knows where to get the latest versions of these utilities I would greatly appreciate it. Ross S. W.

CentOS promotion team at T-DOSE in Eindhoven (NL) on 13-14 Oct 2007
by Dag Wieers 08 Sep '07

08 Sep '07

Hi everybody, CentOS will be present for the first time at the Technical Dutch Open Source Event (T-DOSE) in Eindhoven, NL. We have a booth at the entrance as well as a presentation about Virtualization, presented by Daniel de Kok (danieldk). No doubt the presentation will include information about the new CentOS Virtualization SIG ! (Other topics are still accepted for T-DOSE) If you're interested to be more involved with CentOS, helping out at the booth, volunteering to give a presentation or organising your own presence or event is a good way to meet CentOS community members and users. Feel free to contact me for more information or join the centos-promo mailinglist and introduce yourself. More information about the T-DOSE event and other events is available from: http://wiki.centos.org/Events Hope to see you there ! -- -- dag wieers, dag(a)wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors]

Help with External USB drive on RH/Centos 5
by Scott Ehrlich 07 Sep '07

07 Sep '07

Another issue to tackle - I have an external 1 TB drive (2 500GB on a RAID). When I plug it into the server, it sees, via /var/log/messages, that a USB device was plugged in, but that's it. fdisk -l doesn't see it. dmesg doesn't do much, either. It is a Western Digital My Book II device. I want to format it and use it for external storage, but can't until I get to it. What is the best way to get to the drive? Thanks. Scott

Problems in x86_64 Centos 5
by Erkki.Aalto＠Helsinki.FI 07 Sep '07

07 Sep '07

We upgraded a 64 bit server from Centos 4 to 5 and encountered some strange problems. Tcsh segfaulted irregurarily and emacs gave irregurarily strange error messages about regular expressions. Both problems disappeared when a 32-bit version was installed instead of the 64-bit. Ldconfig still occasionally segfaults. 64-bit servers where Centos 5 was installed from scratch have no problems. It is like there were some sort of remnant of the previous OS, but I can't figure out where. Strace of a 64-bit tcsh usually ends like this: open("/usr/lib/locale/locale-archive", O_RDONLY) = 3 fstat(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=55537056, ...}) = 0 mmap(NULL, 55537056, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 3, 0) = 0x2aaaaaae0000 close(3) = 0 brk(0) = 0x15b30000 brk(0x15b30800) = 0x15b30000 --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) --- +++ killed by SIGSEGV +++ and ltrace gives: __libc_start_main(0x405180, 1, 0x7fff89087298, 0x440b30, 0x440b20 <unfinished ...> setlocale(5, "" <unfinished ...> sbrk(0) = 0x141f1000 sbrk(2048) = 0xffffffffffffffff --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) --- +++ killed by SIGSEGV +++ Does anyone have any ideas? -- Erkki 'Örkki' Aalto "Life is divided up into Internet: Erkki.Aalto(a)Helsinki.FI the horrible and the miserable" Snail: P.O.

Restrict User on Sending Mail
by Jun Salen 07 Sep '07

07 Sep '07

I search from google on how to restrict user from sending mail and I did trial and errors for three days already but to no success. What I want to do is to restrict some user in sending mail while some unrestricted user will send mail to internet and intranet. I am able to restrict outside address (i.e. gmail, yahoo) to not send mail on restricted users but the vice versa I can not do. Is there anybody here that have experience in doing so. Please help. By the way, I am using Postfix on top of CentOS 4.5. Below are some of the entries in main.cf: smtpd_recipient_restrictions = check_recipient_access hash:/etc/postfix/access, reject_invalid_hostname, reject_unknown_recipient_domain, reject_unauth_pipelining, permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_unauth_destination smtpd_client_restrictions = check_client_access hash:/etc/postfix/restricted_sender #smtpd_sender_restrictions = check_sender_access hash:/etc/postfix/restricted_sender /etc/postfix/restricted_sender contains: testuser1(a)mydomain.com REJECT I already try to use smtpd_client_restrictions and smtpd_sender_restrictions with no success, is there any other way to do it.

NIS binding probs w/Firewall and SELinux
by Scott Ehrlich 07 Sep '07

07 Sep '07

I have RHEL5 Server originally configured and installed by me with Firewall enabled, but passing through NFS, Samba, and SSH. I then disabled SELinux. As you all likely recall, I had configured a test environment to get samba and nfs/nis up and running. I got it going, and recently brought it to a production server. After modifying the files on the production server and rebooting, I'm getting the long pause of the server trying to bind to my yp domain, then failing. When I finally was able to log in, SELinux warned me that I could get past the ypbind problem by issuing a command, which I did. I then restarted ypbind, and got a delay/timeout again. I'll check the log files tomorrow for any further hints. Is there a file I can edit to ensure SELinux is disabled? The system was initially installed with SELinux Enabled, then disabled later by me. In the meantime, I did find http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/security-guide/s1-ser… and will see if that may help. I think once I get past beyond the security issues, yp will work/bind fine. Thanks for any help/insights. Scott

Why CentOS as a webhosting platform
by Karanbir Singh 07 Sep '07

07 Sep '07

Hi, CentOS seems to be doing really well in the hosting business these days, and even for people who would normally have used Windows or OSX on the hosting previously, are now looking at using CentOS. And I thought it would be nice to have a section on the wiki about exactly why that is. Not having any direct connection with the hosting business I was wondering if people here could help me out a bit and let me know why they think CentOS is good / bad as a platform in this market segment. I suppose that would include dedicated hosting, VPS hosting, Shared / Virtual hosting, and even high performance grid hosting that a few people seem to be offering these days. Once we have some material here in this thread, everything will go online at the wiki ( with due credit to all contributors ). -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522219@icq

Sony LIB-81 & Bacula on CentOS?

07 Sep '07

I'm wondering if anybody has any experience running bacula with a Sony LIB-81 tape library preferably on CentOS? A bit more specifically I'm looking at either a LIB-81/A4 or a LIB-81/A5 and switching to bacula because we are starting to need something more robust than simple tar/dump for backups. Thanks for any input. Regards, Paul Berger

I notice that the same versions of kmod-xfs and xfsprogs etc. are in both the extras and centosplus repositories for centos5. Is there any particular reason to use the centosplus kernel if what I'm primarily interested in is XFS filesystem support? I presume that if I am using the plus kernel, then I must use the plus versions of kmod-xfs etc., but I'm wondering whether I need the plus kernel in the first place.
